Planetside 2 Thread v2 - Beta floodgates open GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY - Games

Think of the bright side; you're not being forced to stop cold turkey until release.

Even if I don't get in to a big unit, it's great to know the players will be dedicated on that particular server.

i really dislike how TEST took eve TEST's name. then asked if they could use our logo too. it's uber confusing sometimes.

Makes sense to me, consdering its closer to the EU (so less lag for them) and everyone in the US generally gets good pings all around from all US servers. Its going to be a bitch to join a game though thats for sure, especially if they really only plan on having 4-5 servers at launch, that can only support 2k players (hypothetical max). It's gonna be really damn laggy and the wait times to get in are going to be insane.

yeah im going for an NA-E server for that reason, if i login at europe prime i'm less likely to have a queue, and i seriously doubt there will be a lack of a fight at any time frame.

This was after they fixed all of the lag problems/rubber-banding, etc.

[QUOTE=Zeos;38508227]Sounds like Mattherson it is. Even if I don't get in to a big unit, it's great to know the players will be dedicated on that particular server.[/QUOTE] It's shaping up that Mattherson will be zergy. With the Enclave there and Azure Twilight.

I have to say, this is the most satisfying music when capturing VS facilities. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR2qhkWX7jI[/media] [I]Eat it you pseudo-human purple freaks[/I].

I hate that TR has the only music that actually fits during a battle.

You just picked the videos that have a black guy in them.

The vanu one has a nice start. Then it kind of trails off. Thank god you never actually hear the whole thing.

[QUOTE=Pie108;38510185]The vanu one has a nice start. Then it kind of trails off. Thank god you never actually hear the whole thing.[/QUOTE] Hmm that's funny. It's like it mirrors any attempt VS has to dominate any continent.

I finally realised what my CPU temp problem was, my sink had sprang loose at one corner and wasn't actually touching 1/3 of my cpu. Not to mention I used a silly amount of thermal paste. All is good now, getting around 42C at 100% stress test. Time for some overclocking for tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Framperton;38514056]Hmm that's funny. It's like it mirrors any attempt VS has to dominate any continent.[/QUOTE] We conquered Esamir(big woof), Amerish, and Indar once on the West server. :(

Man, it's gonna suck grinding up for certs again.

It's going to take me 6 months to afford a new gun.

Think making a couple of ammo dropping bots do a reload party would work to get certs? I'm pretty sure you get +15 exp per supply (in a squad), and each reload counts as one, so it'd be fairly quick I'd guess.

The only time i see a team conquer an island is when they have like 50% of the server population.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38515970]Well that is one way to get banned.[/QUOTE] It's a free-to-play game, people usually end up making a new account or use a proxy.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;38515987]It's a free-to-play game, people usually end up making a new account or use a proxy.[/QUOTE] Yeah but then what is the point of investing so much time and effort into characters with exp padding.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;38515970]Well that is one way to get banned.[/QUOTE] Using a windows program to just simulate pressing a few buttons in repetition every minute or so, I'm not sure if they could detect it. You wouldn't need any input/output to/from the game specifically.

They did say they'll take hacking, and ~cheating tha system~ very serious though since it's going f2p, with people actively looking at the data for people doing things they shouldn't be doing, like obvious repetitions. It just depends how seriously they'll actually take it.

I never got round to it in the beta, how do you go about joining an outfit?

I just realised what has been missing in PS2. A light wheeled transport / scout vehicle along the lines of a humvee or other similar vehicles. I'm not really complaining since it wouldn't be [I]that[/I] useful (especially since the Flash can handle small scale transport for the most part) but it's a bit strange that there isn't something like that. I'm pretty sure PS1 even had two man buggies or something like that right?
